A system perspective on zero-emission heavy-duty road freight transport and challenges for a successful market entry
Alternative drive trains and fuels in road freight transport – recommendations for action in Germany
This paper develops theses and recommendations for action on climate protection in road freight transport in Germany. Scientists from the Fraunhofer ISI, Oeko-Institut and Institute for Energy and Environmental Research (ifeu) have…
Lifecycle assessment of methyltetrahydrofuran, methylfuran and butanone as tailor-made fuel components
Accompanying environmental assessment within the Cluster Tailor-made fuels from Biomass at RWTH Aachen University
The Cluster “Tailor-made fuels from biomass” at RWTH Aachen University screens a wide variety of potential lignocellulose-based molecules with promising properties as fuel components. For four selected candidates detailed production…
Electromobility – Fact check
Frequently asked questions
In view of global climate change and air pollution problems in cities, there is growing pressure for action to be taken to reduce transport emissions and end this sector’s dependency on fossil fuels. Electric vehicles are a…
Fact Check Electromobility
In view of global climate change and air pollution problems in cities, there is growing pressure for action to be taken toreduce transport emissions and end this sector’s dependency on fossil fuels. Electric vehicles are a much-discussed…
Ensuring a Sustainable Supply of Raw Materials for Electric Vehicles
A Synthesis Paper on Raw Material Needs for Batteries and Fuel Cells
The mobility transition is urgently needed to slash energy consumption in the transport sector without restricting mobility as a whole. To make the transport sector largely climate neutral by the middle of the century, it is imperative…
An outline of sustainability criteria for synthetic fuels used in transport
Policy paper for Transport & Environment
If relevant volumes of hydrogen and synthetic fuels are to be used in the European transport sector until 2030, there is a need for sustainability criteria for these fuels to ensure their environmental benefit. Such criteria should not…
The changeover from the NEDC to the WLTP and its impact on the effectiveness and the post-2020 update of the CO2 emission standards
The CO2 emission regulation based on the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) has successfully decreased emissions in chassis dynamometer measurements during type approval procedures. However, CO2 emissions in operation on the road have…
